After Day 4 in the woods Saturday, without laying eyes on a deer yet, I have convinced myself I'm a lousy deer hunter. In my old age I've become a much better fisherman. shsimons taunted me, telling me what a great day he had on the water Saturday. So I didn't have to twist his arm too hard to go back Sunday.
The fish weren't where Sam caught 'em Saturday... but no matter, we found 'em. While fishing it really didn't feel like we caught that many fish... but after looking at the pictures, I realized ... we did. We caught all three species of black bass, and we had great quality!
The young whippersnapper whipped the old man today. He put two 21-inch class HOF smallmouth in the boat.
I got the tailend of the fight with one of them on video... at the SAME TIME I hooked up. It got real interesting for a minute or so... hence the name of this video is DOUBLE TROUBLE.
We were fishing live bait, mainly because we like to catch fish. I have to fess up for Drumking's benefit (plus I said so on the video). Circle hooks help insure none of them get deep-hooked however. We were actually using some store-bought shiners and some Sam caught with the cast net.
It was another good morning on the Tennessee River, which means life is good and gettin' better everyday.
